Cyprus had its first taste of Pizza Hut pizza in 1991 when Z. K. Franchised Restaurants was founded by Messers Kyriakos Zivanaris, Pankaj Khimji and Lysandros Ioannou in Nicosia as a private company and in November, 1991 the first Pizza Hut Restaurant opened in Strovolos, Nicosia. This marked a new era for Cyprus as it was the first franchise restaurant chain. Success grew fast and more restaurants and delivery/take away stores were opened all over Cyprus. Find us on Facebook
